Zoé Duchesne is a Canadian artist who has worked as a model on the international stage for the last 15 years. She has traveled the world representing the most prestigious brands, and now shares her time between Montreal and Paris.
In her late 20s, Duschesne’s love for the camera led her to acting. Before long, she recognized that aspiring actresses are treated much like models, relying on whoever wants to film them. She realized that creating was crucial to her development and so Poupée was born; a moving and crude character poetically embodying the artist’s emotional and psychological experiences.
Poupée is a broad self-portrait of short films and photographs. This standalone project can also be incorporated in live performance art. Borrowing elements from silent film, theatre of the grotesque and visual arts, the works in this series are a symbolic representation of humans’ existential crisis and inevitable loss of innocence. Together, these films and photographs constitute a powerful exhibit echoing phenomena from our consumerist society, such as the reign of image, body worship and hypersexualization. Intimate, witty and touching, Duchesne explores the anxiety stemming from these phenomena and tells of the inevitable path leading to her own rebirth.
A self-taught artist, Duchesne produces her work in a traditional manner. She does not use any artifices or image manipulation techniques typically found in the fashion photography world.
